This book presents the molecular basis, host-parasite interactions, and translational advances in malaria research, with a specific focus on Plasmodium falciparum. It examines parasite pathogenesis, including life cycle progression, erythrocyte invasion, cytoadherence, and immune evasion mechanisms that drive clinical disease. The book explores advances in parasite genomics and functional genomics, highlighting genome engineering approaches such as CRISPR-based editing for gene function analysis and drug target validation. It also covers contemporary malaria diagnostic strategies, including molecular and point-of-care platforms designed for sensitive detection and surveillance in low-transmission settings. In addition, the book discusses epitranscriptomic regulation and genetic determinants of antimalarial drug resistance, integrating molecular mechanisms with parasite adaptation under drug pressure. The final sections address antimalarial drug discovery, emphasizing natural products and modern target-based approaches for the development of new therapeutic agents.
